Every weekday morning she wakes up and is all excited and happy, the event being the trip to Rias’ school to drop her off. We change her diaper give her a quick wipe with her wet wipes (nothing beats Johnsons on that front tried them all and sticking to Johnsons baby wipes), put her in the car seat and head off. But that’s not the end of madams morning adventures. When we get back I put her in the baby carrier and Sonali and I go for a walk (on days when it is not raining). She is super excited and keeps talking and making happy sounds for the first 500meters and then she falls into a contented sleep. Wakes up around 30 minutes later when we’re almost back after our ~3km walk and can’t stop beaming. This is what she looks like once we’re home:

On the weekends I try and take her out with me on my runs, give her a ~1km walk drop her off at home and then go complete a larger 10-13km run. Simple things to keep her in a good mood through the day. Thankfully so far both kids have been simple happy babies who love and value family time a lot.
